That’s what a Wendy’s employee did this week, following in the footsteps of a Taco Bell employee who caused an uproar earlier this month after a photo surfaced of him licking a stack of taco shells. The latest fast food prankster — a copycat, perhaps? — posed crouching beneath a Frosty machine, eating the soft serve directly from the nozzle.

Naturally, the Taco Bell employee was fired soon after the photo made its rounds, and it seems the Wendy’s employee has realized a similar fate. The photo initially appeared on Reddit when a user posted it with the comment, “I was going to buy a frosty from Wendys until I saw the employee do this.” The company soon caught wind of it, and has responded to the incident via Twitter:

@matthiashow@CassandraYoung Unacceptable. The person in this photo is no longer at this Wendy's. We will be reinforcing proper procedures.
